I live east of all the fires - it is very smoky outside and a fine layer of ash is starting to cover everything - don’t try to hose it off, it turns to cement. The sunrise is covered by black smoke. Wind is still howling outside, predicted until 6 PM tonight.
100% bet that Gavin Newsom will blame “global warming/Climate change” on the winds and resultant fires - and propose an even harder crackdown on CarbonEmissions and oil companies, most likely blaming them and then suing them for the fire damage.
Californians who cannot get home owners insurance will continue to vote for him and his ilk (such as mayor Karen Bass), bitterly complaining about the insurance issue, out of control fires, lack of water, etc.
1-10 odds
I’ve been in those Santa Ana winds.
Almost killed me on my motorcycle on I-10 near Palm Springs in 1973 when I was stationed at 29 Palms..............
